J-Mychal Reese dismissed from Texas A&M team
Dec 22, 2013, 10:03 AM EDT
The beginning of the 2013-14 season has been a rocky one, to say the least, for J-Mychal Reese. Reese, whose father, John Reese, is an assistant coach with Texas A&M, was kicked off of the team after the Aggies' loss to Oklahoma on Saturday night due to violating athletic department rules and regulations.
According to a AggieSports.com, neither J-Mychal or John Reese participated in the game against Oklahoma due to an "issue within their family," the school announced in a release minutes before tip-off.
Prior to Texas A&M's exhibition game against UT-Permian Basin, the school announced that sophomore guard J-Mychal Reese had been suspended for a violation of athletic department rules and regulations. After returning from the four game suspension, he played in six games and averaged seven points in 16 minutes per game.
For his career at Texas A&M, J-Mychal played in 39 games as an Aggie, averaging 6.3 points per game.

Kubel to Arizona a Head-Scratcher
The Arizona Diamondbacks signed outfielder Jason Kubel to a two-year, $15 million deal on Monday to become the club's starting left fielder. The move might provide the D-Backs with a moderate offensive upgrade over incumbent Gerardo Parra, but it's a net loss overall that makes Arizona older and defensively-challenged at the position-- a particularly bad scenario given the fly ball-slanted nature of most of the team's starting pitchers.
Kubel, 29, is coming off a season in which he hit .273/.332/.434 and had a 111 OPS+ in 401 plate appearances, missing the better part of two months with a sprained left foot. Parra, meanwhile, batted .292/.357/.427 last year, with a 113 OPS+ in 493 plate appearances. Granted, Parra wasn't nearly as effective in 2009-2010 (84 OPS+ in 884 plate appearances), and his improved walk rate last season was largely the result of 16 intentionals because he often batted in front of the pitcher.
Moving forward, Kubel probably has the offensive advantage over the 25-year-old Parra. Bill James projects a .274/.343/.466 line for Kubel in 2012, compared to .293/.352/.427 for Parra. Over the course of a full season, Kubel is about 10 runs (or one win) better with the bat if you go by Bill James. But the equation isn't that simple. Parra is a plus fielder, Kubel is a born DH, and Arizona's staff takes to the air more than most.
Over the course of his three-year career, Parra has saved about 11 runs more than the average left fielder per 150 defensive games, according to Ultimate Zone Rating. The 220-pound Kubel, who has a blown knee in his past in addition to the foot issue, has been 17 runs below average per 150 games in an outfield corner. Even if you think Parra isn't quite that swift afield and that Kubel isn't that much of a plodder, the defensive difference wipes away any advantage Kubel holds over Parra at the plate.
Compounding matters, several of Arizona's starters give up a lot of fly balls. That's not the case for newly-acquired Trevor Cahill (29% fly ball rate last year), but Ian Kennedy (42 FB%), Dan Hudson (41%) and especially Josh Collmenter (50%) allow hitters to loft the ball more than the average starter (35-36% fly ball rate in 2011). Barry Enright, who projects as the team's 5th or 6th starter to begin the year, also gave up fly balls 44% of the time batters put the ball in play.
Overall, this move looks like a waste of resources for the Diamondbacks. Kubel may well provide an offensive upgrade, but he gives that back and perhaps then some when you consider that Parra is an elite corner outfielder and Kubel covers ground like someone replaced his cleats with cement blocks. The better course of action would have been to bring in a much cheaper right-handed hitter -- say, Andruw Jones -- to spot for Parra against tough left-handed pitching. Instead, Kennedy, Hudson and Collmenter will cringe every time a fly ball heads Kubel's way.

Single Herbal Extracts (Tinctures)
Mountain Rose Herbs tinctures were meticulously produced according to precise and time honored standards where each herb is single extracted according to the distinct characteristic of each plant. This is important because every botanical on the planet is unique in the way that they react to the extraction process, and this process typically takes about 8 weeks to complete. This attention to detail in the extraction of plant materials produces a finished product which is guaranteed to deliver consistent quality and efficacy. The entire line of Mountain Rose Herbs extracts are strictly made with certified organic grain alcohol and we emphasize using fresh plant material which was harvested during the appropriate season. In addition to this we focus exclusively on using organically grown material and when this is not available we will opt to use ethically sourced wild harvested material, and all of the organic extracts are certified organic through OTCO.
-About Ratios-
All herbal extracts on the market usually have a fixed ratio to the product to help us determine how much solvent to material was used to create the finished product.
An example we can use is Damiana with a ratio of 1:4.
This tells us that 1 part of Damiana was used with 4 parts of alcohol to produce the extract. Typically extracts made from FRESH plant material use equal parts of material to equal parts of solvent, resulting in a ratio of 1:1. Extracts made from DRIED material will require less material to solvent, resulting in ratios ranging from 1:2 to 1:4.
How To Use Tinctures
The benefit of tinctures is that the medicinal value is easily assimilated in the body, they are convenient to use, the average shelf life is 5 years, and they offer a more complete range of medicinal properties than dried herbs or capsules.
The best way to use liquid herbal tinctures is to put the suggested amount in a glass of water, tea, or juice and drink the entire contents. Tinctures can also be administered directly into the mouth without the assistance of water however some tinctures are unpalatable which is why most people prefer to dilute them into a beverage.

APF is a code generator that codes your software as you drag and drop code-abstracts on a canvas. It can be trained by the community to code almost anything. With automatic programming, it will sometimes code 50% to 100% of small or large software projects. APF has successfully shipped some real life software. But APF must produce more diverse software projects. You can help APF grow by picking re-usable code from any existing open source. 'Metacode' that code and submit it to the APF marketplace. APF feeds on re-useable code submitted by the community. This way, APF gets trained to auto code more and more. You can also improve the way APF assembles code, or the way its Canvas lets the user drag and drop code abstracts.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate your pituitary function, especially as it relates to fertility issues, gonadal failure, maturation concerns, or pituitary tumors
When to Get Tested?
When you are having difficulty getting pregnant or are having irregular menstrual periods; when your doctor thinks that you have symptoms of pituitary or hypothalamic disorders or symptoms of ovarian or testicular disease; or when a doctor suspects that a child has delayed or earlier than expected sexual maturation
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a random urine sample or 24-hour urine collection may be taken
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is made by the pituitary gland in the brain. Control of FSH production is a complex system involving hormones produced by the gonads (ovaries or testes), the pituitary, and the hypothalamus.
In women, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of eggs (follicles) in the ovaries during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is divided into the follicular and the luteal phases, characterized by a mid-cycle surge of FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH). Ovulation occurs shortly after this mid-cycle surge of hormones. During the follicular phase, FSH initiates the production of estradiol by the follicle, and the two hormones work together in the further development of the egg follicle. During the luteal phase, FSH stimulates the production of progesterone. Both estradiol and progesterone help the pituitary control the amount of FSH produced. FSH also facilitates the ability of the ovary to respond to LH. At the time of menopause, the ovaries stop functioning and FSH levels rise. In men, FSH stimulates the testes to produce mature sperm and also promotes the production of androgen binding proteins. FSH levels are relatively constant in males after puberty.
In infants and children, FSH levels rise shortly after birth and then fall to very low levels by 6 months in boys and 1-2 years in girls. Concentrations begin to rise again before the beginning of puberty and the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is drawn by needle from a vein in the arm. Sometimes, a random urine sample is collected but, due to the cyclic secretion of FSH, a 24-hour collection of urine may be requested. By measuring FSH levels produced over a 24-hour period, the variation in FSH levels seen through out the day can be minimized.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is required, but a woman's sample should be collected at specific times during her menstrual cycle.

The heart of a computer is now the network connection
July 1, 2013
Back in the 90s, the heart of a computer was the CPU. The faster the CPU, the better the computer was–you could do more, and the speed of the CPU directly affected your productivity. People upgraded their computers or bought new ones whenever they could to take advantage of faster CPU speeds. I remember the point when computers got "fast enough" though. Around 1997 or 1998, computers started hitting 166 MHz or 200 MHz and you could feel the returns diminishing. At some point, ... read more

Queens >Storage > Lonestar Moving LLC
3223 32nd St, Astoria, NY | Directions 1110640.760827 -73.924846
I recently needed to move from my brownstone in Park Slope to a house I bought in Montauk, Long Island. A good friend who knew about my upcoming relocation recommended Lone Star Moving. I just can't emphasize enough what a marvelous experience I've had with them. I spoke with the owner Renee, a wonderful lady, who set-up a move date that was convenient for my work schedule. Everything from there on went seamlessly. The workers came in early, and impressed me with their professionalism from the start. They were courteous and respectful. They packaged and delivered everything with delicate care. I just want to show my appreciation and thank Lone Star Moving for making my life transition as smooth as possible. I especially want to thank Paul, Mo, Mike, Billy, and Ken. Without a doubt Lone Star is a top notch moving company. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs to move.
My family and I moved from Batter Park to Tribecalast week with Lonestar NYC Moving Company. It is weren't for this company I don't know what we would have done.
Unfortunately, I read all the online reviews about this moving company as was impressed with them automatically.
Paul our foreman and his team of 3 other movers were polite, upbeat, organized and extremely professional. They wrapped all our furniture to protect against damages (at no extra charge) and took such great care of all our belongings.
When we called initially for a moving quote I spoke with Renee Cuocco. She was pleasant, well educated, friendly and super professional as well.
The lines of communication were always open and remained consistent. This professionalism made our moving day simple and easy.
I will not hesitate to contact this moving company to move us again and will gladly refer their services.
Not the cheapest of moving companies, but I feel well worth the money. Do not hesitate to contact them, you will be happy you did.
I hope my review helps as I am eager to spread the word about the exceptional service I received.....
Lonestar Moving delivered an excellent level of service - the team of 3 were on time (early!), friendly and extreamly fast with the move. Large iteams were packed and lifted very well. Very much a professional family run business who put the customer first - I'd would recommend them again and again!
Lonestar was a great moving company! They arrived on time and packed up all my furniture and boxes efficiently. Living in NYC makes moving and finding parking very difficult. They did not complain, but instead were joking around with us and having fun while working. They beat us back to the new house and the unpacking was very efficient. They even moved other things we asked them to that were already in the house. I definitely recommend them to anyone!
The movers were on time, professtional, and hardworking. As most moving companies charge by the hour I was happy to see the men working steadly to get the job done in a timely manner. Overall I had a great experience & would highly recommend them.
Great moving company! The prices are competitive, the crews are friendly and professional, and they take great care of your stuff. I haven't had a move this easy since I first moved to the area! I highly recommend Lonestar and will definitely use them in the future!
Renee, I just have to rave for a minute about the team sent to my home to assist me with moving. They were phenomenal! They made my moving day unbelievably stress free. Everything went so smoothly. I would happily recommend your company to anyone.
Hi Renee, I will like to say a great big THANK YOU to the crew,Paul,Carlos and Cliff who moved me on 6/29/12,from Brooklyn to Queens.They were superb,came on time,and worked hard,non-stop.They never stopped to eat,no matter how I tried to encourage them to have a sandwich.They ate on the way to Queens.The day was very hot,and the move took 5.5hrs.yet these guys never stopped or slowed down.They were totally professional,very friendly,and took good care of everything.I picked this company only from the reviews,and was not disappointed.I will highly recommend that crew.Anyone who is moving,should ask for Paul,Cliff,and Carlos,their teamwork is superb,and their personalities outstanding.Great job guys,and thank you Renee,my move was hassle-free.Thank you Paul for attempting to hook up my washer,I did go out and buy new hoses as you suggested.I can't wait to refer Lonestar Moving.to anyone I know planning a move.Good luck guys and may God bless and keep you safe. Hug and kiss the baby, Carlos,from all of us.Regards to Cliff from my sister,he was her adopted son for the day.:) happy Love you guys.
Great Company Great Group of People – I have moved more times than I would like to admit and hope this is the last time for a long, long time. Having this experience, I think you can trust me when I say, simply: HIRE THEM! The entire Lone Star team - Renee and the movers - was reliable, polite, efficient, honest, and even had senses of humor. They made what is invariably a stressful and negative experience into an absolutely smooth and stress-free day. Really. No chips, no breaks, no damage at all. Lovely people. Thanks guys.
LONESTAR MOVING IS THE BEST NYC MOVER OUT THERE – Thank you LoneStar Moving LLC. You were the best Greenwich Village mover I could find. I was referred by a friend. They were on time and they helped with the move more than I expected. They knew just how to move everything right. I even used their packing services and it wasn't that much extra. Lonestar Definitely is the best moving company out there. Thanks again, Chad

The six candidates for Watertown City Council — two incumbents and four newcomers —
were asked to submit statements summarizing their positions.
The primary will be held Tuesday. The top four vote-getters will move on to the general election Nov. 5. Two will be elected, serving four-year terms.
Elected offices in the city are nonpartisan; any registered voter may participate in the primary.
Here are their statements, presented in alphabetical order.
My name is Jasmine Borreggine, and I am running for the Watertown City Council. I am a small-business owner with a bachelor's of science degree in business administration.
I am also married to my husband, Mark, and I am the mother of three wonderful children: Isabella, Erik and Matthew. Our furry family members include Dolly and Onyx, our standard poodles.
I have lived within the city of Watertown for the past 17 years. Mark and I have been homeowners within the city since our early 20s. Both having spent our later childhood and adolescent years in our great city, we are blessed to call this place home.
I am simply running for the City Council because I believe the status quo is complacent, and in some cases detrimental, to the future of our city. I believe that Watertown has significant potential to recapture the glory of yesteryear and once again become the bastion of economic progress that it once was.
Although Jefferson County has experienced a tremendous amount of economic growth with the expansion of Fort Drum, the city of Watertown has continually lost out on opportunities to maximize this growth in favor of outlying municipalities. In light of our country's population doubling in size since 1950, the city of Watertown has actually witnessed a 21 percent decline in total population.
This population shift is indicative of one thing: Prospective residents and business owners are making rational economic decisions to pay less in taxes. Watertown has to get competitive or we will continue to decline.
In spite of all our City Council's attempts to tax and regulate us into prosperity, the job opportunities are no longer in the city. Our public schools are struggling to meet demands, despite the best efforts of our educators and administrators.
There is 18.5 percent of Watertown's families living below the poverty line. Our city's greatest export is our children.
I say this not to malign the hardest working among us but to simply point out the fact that this is not normal. This is not OK.
And we can do better. No one who is working diligently at a job, or perhaps two or three odd jobs, should have to stand by and watch their additional earnings be reclaimed by tax increases, to subsidize a failed product. By lightening the load on everyone, by attracting new residents and new businesses, we will ensure that we can achieve these things without cuts to essential services.
Although I stand most strongly on principle on the issues of taxation and limited government, I encourage you to visit my website to review more of my plan for Watertown's best and brightest future.
Lastly, I encourage any city resident to make contact with me to discuss anything of concern. I want to hear from you, not dictate to you.
Once again, thank you. I am sincerely looking forward to a challenging and rewarding campaign season.
In order for any municipality to enjoy a high quality of life, it is important each member of its governing body understands and meets the needs of the community they serve. As a member of the Watertown City Council, it is my sincere desire to build upon our successes, including the revitalization of downtown Watertown and positive economic climate, while bringing all of your ideas to the table and celebrating the unique blend of culture and traditions we enjoy.
Moving forward, I believe it is time to focus on ways to improve our local business community to help create more jobs, encourage entrepreneurship and add to the tax base. While our schools are faced with an ever-growing population and apparent reductions in state funding, tax incentives for out-of-town housing developers seem to keep adding to the strain on our school system and its taxpayers. With proper neighborhood revitalization efforts and incentives solely for developers headquartered within our city, we can broaden our tax base knowing our dollars stay local while improving our quality of life.
Below I have highlighted key initiatives that I intend to accomplish while working with fellow members of the City Council and the community:
Home-grown economy
We can put programs in place that give local entrepreneurs preferential treatment over outside interests. By creating unique tax incentives for locally owned startups, we can nurture growth at home and ensure long-term viability. Local businesses hire local and spend local. Keeping money in our community is always a great thing.
City of culture
Let the creativity flow. Art, music and drama can enlighten as well as entertain. A city of culture has its own identity that is unique and inviting. The arts can bring our community together and grow our local economy.
A quality life for our children
Ensure all city playgrounds receive proper maintenance and funding to be safe places of fun, learning and friendship. Providing our youths positive recreation can deter mischief and instill community pride, resulting in reduced criminal activity.
Pet-friendly environment
Pets are companions. Dogs need socialization just as people do. Let's work together to create a peaceful habitat for dogs and people to be outdoors and interact with each other in a friendly, safe environment.
Living local
Living local is exactly how it sounds — shopping with local businesses, buying locally grown produce and giving to community-based charities. We need a new perspective in our local government. Being aware of our community and the people living in it can change the way City Hall operates.
Forward thinking
This really ties it all together. We must think outside the bounds of what is status quo. The future is not predetermined. An open-minded, receptive approach is how we move forward and grow as a community.
As a lifelong city resident who chose to stay and make a home here with my family, I understand that my decisions as a council member will affect every member of our community. On Sept. 10, I would sincerely appreciate your vote.
The City of Watertown today has a tremendous opportunity to improve its neighborhoods and economy. While all candidates are tempted to tout what they will do immediately if elected, my goal is to work with city, community and regional partners to achieve objectives that have a productive impact not just next year but 20 years from now.
An undue consequence of revitalizing the city's center will likely be a further erosion of several Watertown neighborhoods already in deep decay. The recent census shows that one in five city families lives in poverty, and 44 percent of the city's households with children in poverty are headed by women. Drug activity, overdose deaths, crime, under- and unemployment, inadequate housing, low educational attainment and poor health are all most prevalent in the city's neighborhoods afflicted by poverty.
Economic development and housing initiatives alone are not going to solve these problems. We must adopt a broader revitalization approach that directly engages the residents of these distressed neighborhoods.
City government, economic development, housing, education, employment and training, law enforcement, health and social services, financial and philanthropic representatives must all sit at the same table with residents to devise and implement strategies that are holistic, neighborhood-driven and sustainable.
We must also further diversify our business base if we want to sustain the city's economy and improve our citizens' quality of life. In addition to the firms already functioning in Watertown, opportunity exists to greatly expand corporate and startup high-technology capacities with the revitalization of Public Square and the Mercy complex.
Supported by the region's high-capacity fiber-optic network, partnerships with educational institutions and private investors hold great promise to develop a high-technology city center. This will attract complementing businesses, create jobs and entice people to work and live in the city's center and surrounding revitalized neighborhoods.
The city faces other serious challenges. We are more reliant on unpredictable sales tax than other comparable New York cities, and our revenue streams must be brought into greater balance. Our recent designation as a Metropolitan Statistical Area places the city and region on a significant learning curve to understand its complexities and capitalize on its advantages. MSA status could facilitate greater access to federal funds for transportation and economic development, and raise the marketing profile of the region.
The benefits of being an MSA must support neighborhood revitalization and economic development. Enhanced federal aid and improved commercial and residential property values should help minimize sales tax reliance and stabilize the city's revenue base.
I want my children to grow up having a choice where to live as adults, and I want that choice to include Watertown. This is now possible with historic transformation of our city on the horizon.
The next City Council must provide the needed leadership that builds the capacities of all neighborhoods and all people. We will have responsibility to be united in purpose and unyielding in vision to improve our city and region, and ensure our children's best future.
Public safety
■ Strengthen public safety by ensuring that the police and fire departments are provided with the resources, training and support they need to keep our city safe.
■ Utilize state and federal public safety grants to help fund the departments.
Fiscal responsibility/revenue expansion
■ Ensure that the city eliminates waste, prioritizes spending and spends appropriately and efficiently.
■ Expand revenue in an attempt to reduce the tax burden of home and business owners, such as imposing/enforcing fees on transient businesses and attracting and supporting events in an attempt to support local businesses and generate sales tax revenue.
City cleanliness/condition
■ Address the condition of rental properties by proposing a self-funded rental inspection, which is common in many municipalities, to ensure that said properties are safe, clean and in compliance with the NYS Property Maintenance Code.
■ Devise and implement an action plan to prioritize improvement of the condition of our city streets.
Economic development
■ Utilize incentives to attract business and development to increase our tax base and create and sustain jobs. That said, incentives should be used wisely and not on projects that would likely be completed without them and will negatively affect our local housing market, such as some of the new apartment complexes. When there is a need for housing, developers will move forward with these projects with little or no incentives. The PILOT programs given not only place more tax burden on home- and business owners, they also add more expense to our school system while providing little or no revenue, as well as affecting the tax revenue collected by our county.
■ Examine and pursue new, innovative approaches toward economic development that appear to be effective in other municipalities, such as "economic gardening."
School system
■ Ensure that council does its part to make our school system the best that it can be.
Quality of life
■ Ensure that local government is limited and does not infringe upon the rights of residents.
■ Offer programs/facilities for youths that promote values such as tolerance and respect.
■ Promote and support programs/facilities to enhance cultural diversity.
Serving on City Council is a privilege
■ Ensure that I am approachable and available to residents to address all concerns in a timely and fair manner.
■ Ensure that I fully understand all sides of an issue and consider public opinion prior to presenting or voting on an issue.
■ Always act in a manner that is in the best interest of Watertown and its residents.
Like many of my constituents, I was critical of local government.
I didn't understand the political process that makes government work. In order to understand government, I needed to be a part of the process.
I have learned it is not as "cut and dry" as I once thought. Although I did not have an agenda, I did have my concerns.
My major concern was the future of the Mercy Building. I could see the direction it was headed, and I knew it would be a hardship for the city if it became ours.
So for the last four years, I have tried to keep the dialogue going. Now, that has been resolved. I stand in support of incentives to make sure it is completed.
Prior to being elected to the City Council, I was critical of the Payment in Lieu of Taxes program. The costs of rehabilitating or demolishing properties such as Mercy, Woolworth or the Lincoln building would cost the city millions of dollars.
Attracting developers to New York state is difficult. Although it appears we are giving developers with strong financial backing tax breaks, we are in fact shifting the burden of these properties away from taxpayers.
We simply could not afford this. We have to recognize that PILOT projects have expiration dates, usually eight to 10 years.
We are investing in the future of Watertown. In time, the PILOT program will pay taxes on the full value of these properties at a higher assessment.
In light of this, I will be supporting the 485a initiative in order to give every developer the same incentives to develop and/or improve their properties.
As a business owner, I recognize that with the influx of multiple franchises, local businesses are struggling. I would like to work with the Watertown Chamber of Commerce, local media or some other venue to highlight local businesses.
My goal as a member of the City Council has been, and will be, the needs of the community. I have dealt with many individual issues over the last three and a half years and know my constituents. No matter what the issue, they want and need to be heard.
It is necessary to keep the lines of communication open between elected officials and their constituents. I take pride in knowing I have assisted many people in their quest for answers.
They don't always like the outcome, but at least they have an understanding of the situation. I don't consider any issue too small or insignificant.
I have been guided by my ethics, principles, education and life experiences in making decisions on the City Council. I will continue to be the voice of reason and be available to my constituents.
I will continue to take the conservative approach on budgetary issues to maintain a stable tax base. I will continue to address the concerns and needs of the community.
I never forget that I work for you.
I will continue to work to keep the tax rate flat and cut taxes when possible, as I have previously done. The City Council has been fiscally responsible resulting in the city of Watertown receiving glowing reviews from the New York state comptroller, stating that our city is fiscally sound.
Our Moody's bond rating (credit rating) has gone up; our current tax rate is less than it was in 2006; and we collect less in property taxes from home and property owners. In addition, we have been able to significantly reduce our overall debt.
Compared to 10 years ago, our downtown is blossoming with a new streetscape. More storefronts and new businesses are opening up in downtown. Three new huge developments are projected to get underway soon (the Mercy building and Woolworth building will be developed in both ground-level commercial storefronts and residential apartments; the Lincoln building will be converted into commercial property with additional office space for rent). I will continue to work to create an environment that fosters ongoing development and growth in the city of Watertown.
I will continue to foster improvement to the city's infrastructure as I voted to dedicate $4 million for renovations at the Fairgrounds arena (that hosts many citywide activities), working collaboratively with the zoo conservancy in order to improve the Thompson Park Zoo and all of its growth. I will foster continued paving with new curbs while maintaining the city sidewalk program. Furthermore, I will support an increase in housing development, especially in targeted neighborhood redevelopment like the Emerson Street project, which was a project that the city partnered with Neighbors of Watertown.
Moreover, I will continue to engage in forward thinking, advocating for progressive changes that will lead our city toward different avenues of saving money while promoting efficiency. An example of this is the current project to power the sewer treatment plant by using its own production of methane gas as a source of energy producing its own electricity and moving forward to be self-sufficient.
For the past decade, I have advocated using excess methane gas as a source of power. Taxpayers will save hundreds of thousands of dollars for years to come.
I will continue to be proactive in code enforcement in order to keep our buildings, properties and neighborhoods from deterioration. I believe in the preservation of single-family neighborhoods and the continued integrity of these few but still very important neighborhoods. I will continue to support the police and fire departments in their primary mission to provide public safety.
As I have always done, I will continue making the tough decisions that improve our city as a whole instead of sacrificing what is right to be politically correct or to avoid potential controversy. I will make decisions in the best interest of city residents and will not be a pawn for certain groups.

The only solace I can take from losing Indiana and Miami last night is that I s uspect nearly everybody else did too. The not-so-good is that I had Indiana as my winner, so I guess I don't need to watch any more hoops this year

Chronic Wasting Disease
The first case of CWD was found in a captive bull elk in Harper County in 2001. Since that time, CWD has been detected in 53 wild, free-ranging white-tailed and 1 mule deer in Deer Management Units (DMU) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 17.
In 2010-2011 the first positive mule deer was detected in Decatur County. Currently, the total number of positives since surveillance started in 1996 is 55 (1 captive elk, 1 mule deer, and 53 white-tailed deer). Hunters and other wildlife enthusiasts can avoid the human-assisted spread of CWD by not transporting a live or dead deer or elk from areas where CWD occurs to those areas which are CWD-free. There is currently no known treatment or eradication method for CWD, so preventing the introduction of the the disease into new areas is of utmost importance to the health of local deer herds. Baiting and feeding deer tend to concentrate deer at small point on the landscape, often with the trails leading to the feeding sites resembling the wheel spokes of a bicycle. Anytime animals are concentrated at this type of "hub," the likelihood of disease transmission increases in a deer herd. More alarming, CWD is not the only serious disease of concern. Diseases such as bovine tuberculosis and a host of detrimental parasites such as exotic lice, meningeal worms, flukes, and stomach worms are transmitted more efficiently when deer are concentrated in a small area.
Another major concern is the potential for spread of CWD from captive cervid farms into the wild cervid population. Once a disease gets into a wild population, it is virtually impossible eradicate. The only thing that can be done is control the spread of the disease at great expense. KDWPT recommends that every captive cervid rancher enroll in the voluntary CWD monitoring program administered by the Kansas Department of Agriculture's Kansas Animal Health Division. The sooner diseases such as CWD can be detected in captives, the sooner control efforts can begin and possibly prevent the spread of disease to wild populations of the state. CWD is only one of many diseases that could go undetected in an unmonitored captive cervid herd. Bovine tuberculosis, for example, is a serious disease that could seriously damage not only populations of deer and an annual 350 million-dollar hunting economy, but could also threaten the 6 billion-dollar Kansas cattle industry via quarantines and loss of accreditation.

List Price: $30.00Publisher: Univ Pr of MississippiBinding: Cloth Text Pages: 92Size: 9.50" wide x 6.50" long x 0.50" tall Weight: 0.946Language: English
Eudora Welty, one of America's most celebrated writers, was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1909. Although she traveled widely and often, she lived most of her life on Pinehurst Street in Jackson's Belhaven subdivision, writing--with quiet power and eloquence--stories, novels, essays, and book reviews. Her literary career spanned seven decades and brought her international fame and many honors. She received the Pulitzer Prize for her novel "The Optimist's Daughter." After her death in 2001, her house became the property of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to be operated as a literary house museum. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark.The selections in "Eudora Welty's World," taken from her novels and short stories, are offered not only for their descriptive quality, but for her imaginative and provocative use of words. Welty was deeply attuned to the natural world. As a young woman she enjoyed long walks and country hikes, for thirty years she was an active gardener as her mother's "yard boy," in later years she relished drives in the countryside, and at the end of her life she was still watching squirrels "spiral down" the oak tree outside her window. Her powers of observation were keen and constantly at work. As a passenger in a car, she could spot a rabbit in a field passing it at sixty-five miles an hour. Welty's knowledge of and pleasure in nature is abundantly apparent in her fiction. This small book is for Welty's many fans, for lovers of nature, and above all, lovers of language.

When a weather event hits Western North Carolina, WCQS calls on Grant Goodge for historic context. Grant has worked for or with the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville for nearly forty years . He spoke with David Hurand about our most recent winter storm....
A recent released report concludes that the National Park System is underfunded and at risk. David Hurand spoke with the former Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Phil Francis and retired political science professor and member of the Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Hugh Stephens about the status of the Parkway and the future of the nation's National Parks.
WCQS listeners may know Alison Arnold from her bi-monthly gardening segments every other Thursday on WCQS. She'll tell you about everything from how to recycle your Christmas tree to how to tell the gender of your plants.
And now, she's got a new full-time position with the Cooperative Extension as the agriculture extension agent. What does the new job entail? We'll let her tell you.
WCQS checks in with Doug Outlaw, who spent his 12-hour shift at the National Weather Service in Greenville last night compiling snow, ice, and sleet data.
A neighbor versus neighbor political race is taking shape in North Carolina House District 115. Democrat John Ager has announced he will seek his party's nomination to challenge incumbent Republican Nathan Ramsey. Ager spoke with David Hurand.
Ramsey is expected to officially file for reelection Wednesday. In a statement issued Sunday, Ramsey said he will continue to focus his attention on solutions rather than partisan politics. He added that he will continue to vote against his party when it's in the best interest of the people of Western North Carolina.
According to the Brewers Association, an organization that promotes and advocates for small, independent American brewers, there are now more than 26-hundred breweries in the U.S. and many more are in the planning stages. In a recently published article in the Asheville Citizen Times, The Beer Guy, Tony Kiss took a look at the Western North Carolina's growing craft beer industry. He spoke with David Hurand.
Tony Kiss says there's lots of live theater happening in the area. Among the offerings, Cabaret hits the stage at ACT and Rounding Third continues at North Carolina Stage Company. The very talented trio of Sutton, Holt, and Coleman honor the late great Doc Watson at Diana Wortham Theater. Tony nominee Norm Lewis takes the stage in a benefit performance for Diana Wortham Theater. There are also a couple of interesting film offerings, The Monuments Men has opened and Academy Award nominated short films are on the big screen.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory made an unannounced visit to the coal ash spill near the Virginia border and says the serious spill needs to be brought under control as soon as possible.
McCrory traveled to the Duke Energy plant Thursday and made his first public statement on the spill. A 48-
inch storm water pipe broke Sunday afternoon, leaking coal ash from a storage pond into the nearby Dan River.
The City of Asheville is threatening to terminate its lease agreement with Pack Place.
A letter from city manager Gary Jackson claims "repairs and maintenance have been neglected for years" and there is "no indication of any hope to satisfy the necessary requirements." The letter included an attached list of necessary building maintenance, saying if Pack Place fails to come up with $419,800, the lease may be terminated. The ten-year lease is set to expire at the end of May.

Judge Blasts Firm for $126,000 Legal Fee Recovery Request
|0 Comments
Mayer Brown's request to recover about $126,000 in attorney fees in a landlord-tenant case received a blistering response from a Manhattan judge, who lambasted the firm's billing records as showing a "stunningly inordinate amount of time" on simple tasks.
"The court will not countenance the gross overreaching evidenced under the facts and circumstances of this case in which the client is not even being billed for legal services. To move any court to put its imprimatur of approval on such practices is simply intolerable," Manhattan Civil Court Judge Frank Nervo (See Profile) said this week in Clozel v. Jalisi, 11227/12, denying any fee award to Mayer Brown.
Mayer Brown represented Thomas Clozel and Chine Labbe in successfully recovering a $6,400 security deposit and treble damages from their former landlord, a total of $19,200. It also defeated attempts by the landlord, Hasan Jalisi, to vacate a default judgment.
Mayer Brown associate Bridget Kessler told Nervo that the firm's representation in the case was "done as a favor" and the firm was "not looking to recover" anything from the clients because its representation was an accommodation, according to the judge.
Clozel's father is a founder and CEO of Swiss biopharmaceutical company Actelion, which is a client of Mayer Brown in other matters, firm partner Lee Abrams said in an interview. "We agreed to help," he said.
In the landlord-tenant case, Mayer Brown asked for $126,026 from Jalisi, submitting a 14-page statement of its services.
"This statement demonstrates much duplicated effort, research on the most basic and banal legal principles that a client could reasonably expect" for an attorney with prior knowledge of the issues charging at least $405 an hour, Nervo said.
The judge said some work wouldn't require oversight by a more senior associate—Jason Kirschner, at $615 an hour, and partner, Abrams, at $895 an hour—"all as unabashedly invoiced here."
Nervo said the billing was "particularly egregious" considering Mayer Brown calls itself a "global law firm with a large litigation practice" that routinely represents clients in landlord/tenant matters.
Nervo ticked off examples of what he said was overbilling. For instance, Kessler researched Civil Court procedural rules and pleading requirements, law on security deposits and real estate licensing and drafted a complaint on one day in February 2012, totaling $1,822 for 4.5 hours.

Daily Joke
After church, little Johnny and his brother go ice fishing. Little Johnny starts drilling on the ice when a voice from above says, "Young man, there's no fish down there."
Little Johnny asks his brother, "Who is that?"
His brother replies, "I don't know."
So little Johnny starts to drill again and the voice says again, "For the second time, there's no fish down there."
Little Johnny asks his brother, "Could that be God?"
His brother replies again, "I don't know."
Little Johnny starts drilling again and the voice says once more, "Young man, for the last time, I'm telling you there's no fish down there."
Johnny looks up and asks, "Is that you, God?"
The voice says, "No, I'm the manager and the rink's closed."

Artists with local, international connections are finalists for Holocaust Memorial.
The Columbus Dispatch - January 28, 2013 1:01 PM
The three artists named as finalists to design a Statehouse Holocaust Memorial have both a local and international flavor.
They are: Jaume Plensa, of Barcelona, Spain; Ann Hamilton, of Columbus, and Daniel Libeskind, of New York City.
The state has asked each artist to visit the memorial site on the Statehouse grounds. They will have six weeks to submit a proposal to the artist election committee which will make a recommendation to the full Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board which oversees the Statehouse and grounds.
Gov. John Kasich came up with the idea for a Holocaust memorial last year. The tentative timeline would have the project completed by early next year.

Quantitative easingis really another word for currency wars. A weak U.S. currency puts continued pressure on the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Yuan, the South Korean Won, the Australian dollar and other currencies.
Cheap money also fuels speculation and this money quickly drifts into commodity markets and the ETFs that help propel commodity market speculation. This is inflationary for food prices.
The lower the U.S. dollar the greater the intensity of currency wars. The break below the key uptrend line on the Dollar Index chart was an early warning of the third round of quantitative easing (QE3). The most important question now is to use the chart to examine the potential downside limits of a QE3 weakened U.S. dollar.
The U.S. Dollar Index is a basket of currencies. They are the Euro, yen, British Pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc and Swedish Krona. The Dollar Index is used as a measure of the strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar.
There are three significant features on the weekly Dollar Index chart. The first feature is the uptrend line that started in September 2011.
One year later, in September 2012, the Dollar Index fell below this uptrend line. The weekly close below this uptrend line was the first signal of a major change in the trend direction. It came before the announcement of QE3, last week. Traders had good warning to move to the correct side of the new market trend by closing long side trades.
This advance warning was also delivered by commodity markets, as discussed last week in our column on the London Metal Exchange price moves.
The second significant feature is the support level near 79. This provided both support and resistance in 2011 and 2012. Temporary consolidation behavior may develop at this level. There is a low probability this level will provide strong support after the announcement of QE3 so traders will use the consolidation as an opportunity to build short side positions.
The third significant feature is historical support near 74.5. This is the upper edge of a consolidation band between 73.5 and 74.5. This is the downside target for the Dollar Index following a fall below 79. This target can be reached very rapidly over three to four weeks. A rapid collapse of the U.S. dollar puts immediate pressure on other dollar-linked currencies.
There is a very low probability the U.S. dollar will resume its uptrend. The move below the value of the uptrend line and a fall below 79 confirm that a new downtrend has developed. The weakness in the U.S. Dollar will hurt export dependent economies and companies.
